Divide that by 60 to get degrees. If you want degrees and minutes, do an integer division by 60; the remainder will be the minutes. Seconds will of course be zero in this case.
It designates a point on earth that is 38 degrees 53 minutes 23 seconds north of the equator and 77 degrees 00 minutes 27 seconds west of the Greenwich Meridian
0 minutes and 43.2 seconds
d degrees + m minutes + s seconds = d + m/60 + s/3600 degrees in decimal form.
Works on the same principle as "60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour (or degree in this case)... So for example: 2 degrees, 45 Minutes and 20 seconds is worked as follows: Now, 20 seconds = 0.33 minutes (i.e. 20/60); add to 45 minutes to get 45.33 minutes.. 45.33 minutes = 45.33/60 degrees = 0.7555 degrees. Therefore, final answer is 2 + 0.7555 = 2.7555 degrees.... Hope this helps!!
